What’s another word for holding together?
A group exhibition in 3 chapters
19.10.2022–18.12.2022
What's another word for holding together? is an exhibition based on traces. It reflects on the need for "support structures" and looks back at the exhibitions of the past year at Exhibit Studio and the themes that unfolded in them. The crises created or made visible by the pandemic were already reason enough to reflect on the uncertainties that surround us and those still to come. A few months and crises later, the presentation reflects on how the realities that surround us can influence exhibition formats, through the use of space.
Organized and with spatial interventions by Exhibit Studio coordinators Vik Bayer and Natalia Gurova.
